Reducing the Wait Time To Shut Down your PC

When you start to shut down Windows XP, it has to quit, or “kill,” any live applications or processes that are currently running.
So close all applications first. However, some applications and processes are always running in the background.
You can reduce the amount of time that Windows XP waits for those applications and processes to close before Windows XP kills them.
Edit three different Registry settings to change this:
1. Open the Registry Editor.

2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop. Select WaitToKillAppTimeout and set the value to 1000.

3. Select the HungAppTimeout value and set it to 1000 as well.

4. Navigate to HKEY_USERS\.DEFAULT\Control Panel\Desktop. Set the WaitToKillAppTimeout and set the value to 1000. Select the HungAppTimeout \newline value and set it to 1000 as well.

5. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control. Select the WaitToKillServiceTimeout value and set it to 1000.

6. Close the Registry Editor

That’s it..u r done
